Integration of Islamic Values and Science in Integrated Islamic Schools Based on Islamic Boarding Schools

Abstract

This research is motivated by the low quality of education and the increasing character crisis among teenagers in Indonesia, which indicates the need for an educational model that integrates cognitive, spiritual, and moral aspects. Integrated Islamic Schools (SIT) based on Islamic Boarding Schools present an alternative by combining Islamic values and knowledge within a unified educational system. This research aims to examine the concept and implementation of that integration, specifically at SMAIT Baitul Muslim Lampung. The method used is a qualitative approach thru literature study, supported by Focus Group Discussions (FGD) and documentation study. Data is analyzed thru the stages of reduction, presentation, as well as conclusion drawing and verification. Research results show that boarding school-based SIT implements an integrative curriculum that holistically combines religious and general sciences without dichotomy. The implementation is evident in contextual learning, dormitory-based religious activities, and character formation thru the habituation of Islamic values. This model aligns with the thoughts of Hasan al-Banna, who emphasizes the balance of intellectual, spiritual, and moral aspects. Thus, this integration has the potential to be an alternative solution in addressing the dichotomy of science and the character crisis, and it could produce a generation that excels academically and possesses moral integrity.
